Never traveled for consulting before! If we use corporate codes, do we still get points even though price is discounted and not full price?

Yes, just fewer total points, as points are earned against spend.

I would double check that. Typically hotels do not offer points for discounted rates. Points are only offered for rack rate.

Hotels always give points for rates booked through corporate codes (literally have earned points this way hundreds of times with multiple companies). I would suspect that a majority of hotel points that travelers earn are earned on stays booked with corporate codes :)

Should I be mindful about how much I’m spending or should I blow up the budget until someone says something?

Hi! My husband had a pituitary tumor apoplexy less than a year ago that took 90% of his sight rendering him unable to work.

My life revolves around computers! Any suggestions would be appreciated! (Bonus points to anyone that also knows of a job a mostly blind person could do from home!!!)

Curious about thoughts on on discount points (I think I’ve already read every article on Google). I am refinancing my personal residence (future rental) as well as a rental property. The mortgage brokers discourage me from spending a ton on points (rolled in, not up front). In some cases, it’s a 16 year break even. I get that’s a very long time to break even, but I have no intention of getting rid of the properties and doubt rates will drop much below current. Max breakeven point for you?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.
